DISCUSSION:
The Texas Transportation Commission (Commission) passed Minute Order (MO) Number 116522 dated August 16, 2023, awarding funding for
Transportation Alternative Set -Aside (fASA) projects in the TASA Program Call of the State, including the Safety and Operational Improvements at
the Oakland & Miller Safe Streets project.
This scope of the project includes protected bike lanes, enhanced pavement markings, pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHB) signals, signal
modifications for protected intersection and bike signals, curb ramp replacements, and street lighting improvements. The project aims to improve
safety by increasing visibility and separation for bicyclists and pedestrians and encouraging equitable mobility facilities.
This project has federal funding for construction improvements. The project is scheduled for construction in the fall of 2026. The City of Fort Worth
is responsible for funding engineering, right-of-way (ROVV) acquisition, environmental studies, utility relocations, project management services for
this project, and a minimum of twenty percent of the construction cost.
The City of Fort Worth projected let date is November 2025. The funding appropriated by this Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) will be
used for design, right-of-way acquisition, utilities, and project management of the project. The Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) will require Fort
Worth to fund cost overruns. At the end of the project, the asset will remain with the City of Fort Worth.

Funding is budgeted in the Transportation Public Works (TPW) Department Highway & Streets Department's 2022 Bond Program Fund to fund
the Oakland & Miller Safe Streets Bike Improvement project, as appropriated. Approval of recommendation 3 will disconnect this project from the
existing programmable funding in the project and turn it into a static project.
This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022)
provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to make interim progress payments until the debt is issued. Once
debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement expressing
official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
Funding for the grant portion of the project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program because grant funding is
appropriated at the time of the grant award. The action in the M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program as
approved in connection with Ordinance 26453-09-2023.
The project is located In COUNCIL DISTRICTS 5 & 11.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Texas
Department of Transportation
